Steph Elaine
My original WLS journal, started in November 2002, is coming soon. I need to upload it to the web again.
My name is Stephanie. I had RNY Gastric Bypass on August 4, 2003. I reached my goal weight on August 4, 2005, going from 309 pounds to 164 at at height of 5'11". I lost an additional 5 pounds after that to end up at 159. In late 2005 I left my husband of 4 years. We were divorced in February 2006. In January 2006 I met my current husband, Ken. Our son was born October 4th, 2006. He is healthy and perfect in every way (of course). Ken and I were married October 17th 2006. Currently I weigh 172, so I need to lose 8 to 12 pounds to get back to my preferred weight. That's perfectly fine. Most normal weight people retain a few pounds after a pregnancy (or so I keep telling myself). In my mind I will always be overweight. I'm an obese person in a more slender body. Of course it's just body dismorphia telling me that (At least, that's what I think it's called).
I have a blog at http://stephelaine.blogspot.com for recent stuff. I'm also on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/tiffanylancaster. When I first went on MySpace I had an alias, until I figured out that there's really no way to keep yourself incognito. Go figure.
